It's not very often you see a rainbow with a blue sky. If you look closely you'll actually see 2. This was after a heavy but brief downpour. I did minor curves and a little bit of saturation. I had the standard UV filter on the 24-105 and 350D. C&C appreciated.

Nicely done. I like the composition, even down to the little tuff of plant in the bottom right hand corner.

a nice moment and very good composition (although I agree with Matt, probably crop it out). I would just "unsaturate" the grass a bit.

Very nice shot. I've tried to shoot a few rainbows but I was unsuccessful. Was that taken at a park or something similar? Some of the trees in the distance look manicured.

Thanks for the comments. I could clone the bush out of the front. I like the proportions, so I'd rather not crop that area. That field is quite bright, but perhaps I should tone it down as most feilds aren't that green (I'm told the further north you go here, the greener stuff gets, but I have yet to see for myself). This is just a farm field I was standing at the edge of a trail, 2 sides have a road, the far left side keeps going a little further into some trees and then the lake. I don't think any trees have been harvested from there, though there is a lot of logging that does go on in this region.
